Quote# 36686

I stopped going to my ELCA church for several reasons....mostly because I
believe it's getting strange and liberal. My question is: The head pastor
performs with his blue grass band every year for a fundraiser for the Food Shelf and this year he sang Come Together by the Beatles. Last year he
sang Hotel of California. What do you think? I was really surprised at his
choice to sing Come Together by John Lennon....considering that John Lennon did not believe in Christ....

I don't think John Lennon ever said he didn't BELIEVE in Christ, he just said that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus," didn't he? I don't know, maybe I'm mistaking my blasphemers :P

I'm sure the fact it might be a nice sounding song didn't enter the blackhole in your head?

Praise Jebus he's not doing Slayer songs, such as "Jesus saves"!

Seriously, these rapture freaks are fucking stupid.

Fact: If you don't like the beatles, you are a complete tool.

You're just jealous of their popularity, aren't you?

The blue line is the Beatles
The red line is Jesus

Looks like the Beatles are more popular.

Someone needs to tell these arseheads (I can't, because they banned me) that Hotel California has nothing to do with Satan or witchcraft or hell. It's about the music business!

Doesn't the Bible say something about gossiping? I can't remember chapter and verse, so I'll just go with my usual Exodus 20:16, bitch!

Be a useful tool. Avoid anything not specifically Christian.

Your pastor did, as far as I'm concerned, what Jesus did, help the poor and the outcasts. Obviously, for you that's "liberal"

This is the problem with such churches. They don't worship. They perform. It's a Hey Mom, look at me, how wonderful I am" sort of situation. Same with Gospel choirs. They are forever clapping and jiving. It's all entertainment by and for those who were so piss-poor and lacking in talent that neither Hollywood or Broadway wanted them.

I think he needs to drop the 60s/70s hippy/easy listening shit and get some good three-chord brit punk! "into the Valley" FTW!

Um, wasn't "Come Together" all about the good stuff in Christianity?

Diamond would have a heart attack if he saw my dad (a baptist pastor) at home. He plays classic rock on the guitar. It's pretty cool. But then my dad isn't a stuck up moron.

Bigger than Jesus does not mean not believing in Jesus. You can't compare yourself to someone or something you do not believe in.

That damn sinful pastor. He sang a Beatles song and an Eagles song to help raise money and food for hungry people. How dare he cross such a line? That's not what Jesus asked people to do.

The big question is, did he get permission from those who own the rights to the Beatles and Eagles music to perform those songs? If he didn't get permission, he committed a sin by stealing those songs and then I would say that you are entirely in the right to leave such a corrupt church.

We can't have our people growing up in churches where the pastors go to any and all lengths to help feed people and steal songs. Who knows what line they will cross next time around. Run, I say, run. As fast and far as you can. The devil will have his way with that sinful church and you don't want to get caught in the carnage.

OH NOES!
Don't say it's true!
You know what you have to do now, you have to gather the community together and stone your pastor.

Wow...your head pastor sings a song that wasn't composed by a Christian, and that sets your radar off? Yep...that's a fundie, alright.

You're right, what kind of pastor sings?

Two excellent songs that will be remembered long after everyone's forgotten about neurotic 'Christian Rock'. (I will say this for Christian rock, it often requires being able to actually play an instrument or to be able to sing on key, and at least write _marginally_ original melodies and coherent songs.)

Accusing rock stars of being satanists is pretty standard fundie stuff. Alice Cooper based his whole career around that kind of 'controversy'.
